Chapter 1 - Introduction to Integrated Training Flashcards
Alteration of muscle length surrounding a joint.
Muscle Imbalance
The condition of being considerably overweight.
Obesity
A BMI of 30+, who is at least 30 pounds over the recommended weight for their height.
Obese
Refers to a person with a BMI of 25 to 29.9, or who is between 25 to 30 lbs. over the recommended weight for their height.

Also known as cholesterol and triglycerides.
Blood Lipids
Carried in the bloodstream by protein molecules known as hight-density lipoproteins (HDL) and low-density lipoproteins (LDL)
Blood Lipids
Chronic metabolic disorder caused by insulin deficiency, which impairs carbohydrate usage and enhances usage of fats and proteins.
Diabetes Melitus
A state of lost physical fitness, which may include muscle imbalances, decreased flexibility, and a lack of core and joint stability.
Deconditioned
The cumulative sensory input to the central nervous system from all mechanoreceptors that sense body position and limb movement.
Proprioception
An unstable (yet controllable) physical situation in which exercises are performed that causes the body to use its internal balance and stabilization mechanisms.
Proprioceptively Enriched Environment
Smaller divisions of training progressions that fall within the three building blocks of training.
Phases of Training
A muscles ability to contract for an extended period.
Muscular Endurance
The ability of the neuromuscular system to enable all muscles to efficiently work together in all planes of motion.
Neuromuscular Efficiency
The muscle that acts as the initial and main source of motive power.
Prime Mover
Set of two exercises that are performed back to back without any rest time between them.
Superset
